   One of my favorite Prog Metal acts. Really adventurous and unique band!

Carved In Stone and Tyranny especially are fabulous albums, among my personal favorites in metal. 

I listened to their debut last night in tribute to Mike Baker. Rest in Peace, Mike!

	Their albums - especially Tyranny - are absolutely essential listening for anyone who wants to know what Prog Metal is all about. RIP Mike ... you'll be sorely missed by us!

	After hearing the sad, sad news of the death of Mike Baker (R.I.P), the least I could do is to create an appreciation thread about this magnificent, unique progressive metal band, one of the few that escaped the I-sound-like-DT complex and went on to create their own style and sound. One of the first bands that introduced me to prog-metal and shook my music background (at the age of 15 then) with the brilliant release of 'Carved in Stone' in 1995 and 'Tyranny' three years later. Five studio albums, none of their releases falls into the 'uninteresting' category. The biggest complaint of the fans is that we never had the chance to see them live (yet)... Recommended albums for new listeners: Carved in Stone Tyranny (probably their most complete release) Room V
